Sasa, I have no answers, but sympathy! I thought mine was the only challenging, headstrong kid I look at these other, seemingly compliant, children and wonder what I did wrong LOL. Don't get me wrong, DS is a lovely kid, but he lets his feelings be known loud and clear ALL DAY LONG! Well, it feels that way anyhow

Hope you can figure out some strategies soon. Actually, I'm currently reading Pinky McKay's book, 'Toddler Tactics', and it is excellent. I've picked up a few really good tips that have worked well. Try and get your hands on a copy if you can, it's great.
